CNN SEVERS TIES WITH JEFFREY LORD FOLLOWING “SIEG HEIL” TWEET

“Nazi salutes are indefensible,” a CNN spokesperson said in a statement. “Jeffrey Lord is no longer with the network.”

Lord had been one of CNN’s best-known commentators. He was the first explicitly pro-Donald Trump commentator to join the network, back in August 2015, as a counterweight to CNN’s other conservative commentators, who were all dismissive of Trump’s candidacy.

Other pro-Trump voices joined the network later. CNN now has about a dozen Republican commentators who tend to support the president’s views, along with other Republicans who are critical of the president.”
